Meal Plan

This week we are having light meals. My husband requested light meals that wouldn't make him tired so this is our plan

Monday- Chicken Salad Sandwiches (this recipe looks great because it doesn't call for mayo which Brian can't eat) and veggies

Tuesday- Vegetable Soup with Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches

Wednesday-Cucumber, Hummus and Tomato Sandwiches with whatever veggies we get from our farmer

Thursday- Chicken and Avocado Soup with Rice

Friday- Black Beans and Rice

Saturday- Fillet Mignon (we found this on sale tonight) with some concoction I think up involving vegetables that we get from the farmer

Recipe Review from last meal plan

All the new recipes I tried were great even if I didn't follow them exactly. The caesar salad ended up being a oil and vinegar salad with fresh basil and other fresh veggies that I had. It was great.

How did that get there?

I have walked into the room several times lately to find this. I think Ruby rolls Telia up her legs and holds her here. I love it but I also had to put a stop to it for obvious reasons.

Meal Plan

Tuesday- Salmon burgers, baked sweet potato's, sauteed vegetables

Wednesday- Caesar chicken pasta salad with whole wheat toasted bread

Thursday- Ground Turkey Stuffed squash with Tomato pie might go crustless on the pie

Friday- leftovers or maybe eat out somewhere cheap like subway

Saturday- Sauteed Cabbage and Sausage

Sunday- brunch- potato's (for brian) , eggs (for me) , turkey sausage, toast and some fruit

Monday- Leftovers or sandwiches with fresh raw veggies

Oh, and one of these days I am going to make a Bumbleberry Pie...stay tuned for that one

Ch-Ch-Ch- Change

A couple of weeks ago we said goodbye to half of our community group. This is our small group through our church that we "do life" with and lead. We have been with a lot of these people for a couple of years so it was a bitter sweet goodbye. It was good to multiply so we could make room for more people but change is never easy. Now, our dear friends Matt and Cori will be leading 1/2 of our group and we will take the other half and continue leading at our house. Here are a few pics of our friends from the last get together.

We found a lake

Well, I guess we didn't actually "find" this lake...it was been around for a long time but we just realized it is AWESOME! Basically, I have been looking for a beach for 3 years and just realized there was one in "my backyard". We went to Borden, IN twice over the holiday weekend and loved loved loved hanging out at the beach. We even bought a beach umbrella which is a big commitment for the Laffin's. We will be back again this summer.

Lots to Celebrate!

A few weeks ago we gained a sister when my brother Joe tied the knot in Vegas! Welcome to the family Kate! Love the pictures of them in Vegas...here is just one.

The Zoo

We have had a lot of fun these past couple of weeks, starting with the zoo.
Telia enjoyed herself!

Ruby's first ride on a carousel with her cousin. She actually liked it even if she looks like she doesn't in this picture.

Ruby and her cousin Holden loved climbing on all the animals.

I love this picture of the kids checking things out so seriously with their monkey and puppy dog back packs on!
